2016 ELIGIBILITY:

The SEMA Award taps into our exhibitor community's unique ability to identify the hottest new vehicles and trends that shape the current and future customized car landscape.

Launched in 2010, the SEMA Award has become the SEMA Show's definitive OEM award – shining a light on the hottest vehicles that showcase and launch new aftermarket parts.

New for 2016, and to better represent the current car, truck and 4x4/SUV segments, the Hottest Sedan and Coupe Awards will replace the Hottest Car Award. The Hottest Hatch Award will Replace the Hottest Sport Compact Award. The Hottest Truck and 4x4/SUV Awards will remain unchanged.
